Wrestling In Prayer
     
"Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured."
Colossians 4:12 (NIV)
 
The battleground where we will meet and fight our enemy is entered unto through prayer!   Paul relays to the church in Colosse that Epaphras was wrestling in prayer for them. That is, Epaphras was engaging the enemy through prayer on their behalf. Prayer is the vehicle we use to purposely and directly engage the enemy on the field of battle! Prayer is a powerful ally for the soldier of Christ! The enemy has no concern over the child of God who doesn't pray! The devil knows that it is prayer which moves the hand of God! And. That is something he truly fears, for he knows the power invoked when God's hand begins to move on behalf of His children!
 
Samuel Chawick said, "The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray." The prayer of faith, which comes into agreement with heavenly realities, has the power to lay waste to all the enemy has built up! Prayer recognizes the supreme power of Heaven, as it reaches up to God in faith, to release the power of Heaven into its earthly situations!
 
We must be deliberate in our prayers, as well as consistent, regardless of circumstance! We cannot afford to falter in our prayer life, or to enter there in as a mere religious expression! We must enter into prayer in faith, understanding the sheer power of it, and the absolute necessity of it, in the war we are engaged in! We must enter in with great expectation of seeing God's hand moving in our lives and the world around us! We must enter in with an unwavering assurance of God's Word, rejecting the lies and illusion the enemy has placed before our eyes!
 
"The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God-it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]." James 5:16 (AMP)
